Question Posted Tuesday December 2 2014, 8:24 pm
So there's a guy that I only see at lunch at school because hes the guy at the cash register sometimes we lock eyes for half a second and both look way while other times we smile at each other. and he always say hi first when I approach him.
Ill say hi and he says how are you and that happens like 3-4 times out of the 5 times a week I go to school . Sometimes we just say hello and how are you and that'll be it for the day. Other times, there's more.
I type my student number really fast and the first thing he said to me other than hi and how are you was that I type really fast.
Some Fridays he says something funny: like one day I wore a school shirt that has the mascot on it and he said I like your shirt as a joke (because everyone has one) and whenever there's someone ahead of me that is taking a long time to check out lunch he always apologizes for the long wait. And just Wednesday, he asked what my plans were for thanksgiving. I told him I was spending Time with my family and he also said he was spending time with his. IDK if he was being just a kind person and asking what my plans were but I didn't see him ask anyone before or after me. ( but that was like 2 people lol) Just today I asked him 2 q's and he said do you?/ or are you ? after I asked him those. I can't help but feel something when I look into his eyes and we smile at each other. But, he has a few girls around him after school so why would he flirt with me if he has them? (They're different girls sometimes) I feel like he likes me up until the point I see him with girls all happy and laughing. My confidence drops and I feel like he's just being nice and not flirting. So how can I tell if he's being friendly or just flirting? I like him so so much. I'm a freshman and he's a junior. (Not that it matters too nuch I hope)

Many of the times, this actually is the case or he's going after her for sex cus he's burnt his bridges with the older girls already.
There are always acceptions to the general rules. He is showing no sign of being a player type of guy, in fact is not doing anything more than simply trying to have conversation with you and not engaging in the same with others in line. This surely is a sign of general interest in the other person. You wouldn't be trying to start up convo with a guy you didn't feel attracted to right? What's the point?
So here's what you do. Next time you actually have a short exchange of sentences, you tell him you really enjoy his friendly smile and greetings and your very short conversations and would like the opportunity to have longer conversation with him. Then ask if he'd like to have your phone number. Have it pre written so you can pull it out of a pocket quickly to give him.
Don't expect an immediate call if his time is full for the next day or two but if he ends up calling, he's interested in getting to know you more to see if you're someone he might like for a friend or girlfriend.
The reason he has girls hanging around him is that they are attracted to him and want him to notice them and ask them to be their boyfriend. He's not shy or he wouldn't be speaking to you at all. I am guessing that though he may like these girls as classmates or friends, he isn't dating one of them or it would be kinda obvious at school, seeing him with the same girl all the time and the others now staying away. You have nothing to lose in asking if he'd like to chat with you at a better time on the phone. And from there, you can plan things according to what your parents boundaries are for hanging out with/dating a guy. If you can't go on private dates yet, then see if they'll let him come hang out at your house when they are home to supervise. That way they get to know him while you are safe and you get to have time with him. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
